A complaint about waitresses at a Lewisville restaurant wearing body paint on their breasts means the City Council may clarify the definition of nudity on Monday.

Lewisville police investigated a June 21 call from a resident about alleged violations of the city’s sexually oriented business ordinance at Redneck Heaven.

“Officers observed waitresses serving patrons with body paint covering their breasts along with adhesive coverings over just the areola of the breasts, commonly referred to as ‘pasties,’” according to a memo by Police Chief Russ Kerbow.

Police found that the restaurant was not in violation of the ordinance.

But the investigation convinced officials that changes were needed, said police Capt. Kevin Deaver.

The current ordinance defines nudity as a state of dress that “fails to completely and opaquely cover” certain body parts, including portions of female breasts.

The proposal would make it clear that “body paint, body dyes, tattoos, liquid latex, whether wet or dried, and other similar substances” aren’t considered opaque.

A manager at Redneck Heaven who identified herself only as Katrina said Friday that she was unaware of any complaint.

“We do have dress-up days where the girls dress up,” she said.

Asked whether waitresses use body paint, she said, “We do paint as long as it’s within the Lewisville guidelines.”

She said she would have the general manager call back to comment on the proposed ordinance. No one called back or responded to an email.

Two years ago, Lewisville officials changed the sexually oriented business ordinance after receiving similar complaints about Redneck Heaven.

That time, police found waitresses wearing pasties.

The council amended the ordinance to prohibit the attire unless the business had a sexually oriented business permit.
